Council approves loan to buy six police vehicles
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 24-37 authorizing borrowing to purchase six police vehicles (five Chevy Traverses and one Silverado), a planned replacement included in the FY26–27 budget; council passed the measure unanimously.
The council unanimously approved Resolution 24-37 on July 27 authorizing the city to borrow funds to purchase six vehicles for the police department, five Chevrolet Traverses and one Silverado pickup.
City staff said the purchases were planned replacements included in the adopted FY26–27 budget. Staff presented a six-year loan quote at 6% from the Bank of Eastern Oregon to finance the purchase; the repayments were stated as budgeted within the adopted budget. Councilors asked whether the purchase was related to an existing vehicle-lease program; staff said the city intends to honor existing lease obligations but not add more vehicles to that lease arrangement.
The measure passed on a unanimous roll call.
